Chobani Yogurt Wins National Best Brand Award

The American Choice Awards Announces National Best Brand Winner – Chobani Yogurt

New York, New York – The American Choice Awards (America’s Largest Consumer Vote) today announced that Chobani Yogurt has won the National Best Brand Award in the Greek Yogurt category.

The road to being crowned America’s #1 Greek Yogurt started with a dream of Chobani Founder and CEO, Hamdi Ulukaya, who was on a simple yet profound mission – to provide better food for more people. He believed that people have great taste, they just need better options. So, he set out to make delicious, nutritious, and natural Greek yogurt right here in the U.S.A. For two long years Mr. Ulukaya worked with a master yogurt maker to perfect every step of the process and lay a solid foundation for the future. The resulting growth has been nothing short of a national sensation.

Chobani’s commitment to excellence starts with the main ingredient – milk. Close collaboration with cooperatives and local farms ensures the freshest milk from healthiest, happiest cows. The ethical treatment of animals is a philosophy shared by the entire company. From the milk, each batch uses a unique generations-old straining process to make Chobani yogurt thicker, and with twice as much protein as regular yogurts. Next comes real fruit and real honey; and the nuts, the chocolate, and even the sweetness is natural, non-GMO, and free of artificial preservatives. Chobani’s delicious, nutritious and diverse lineup now includes Fruit on the Bottom, Blended, Plain, Simply 100, Flip, savory Mezé Dip, Drink, Kids and Tots. Each selection is made to be the best it can possibly be. In the words of Mr. Ulukaya, “If we can’t do it better, we don’t do it at all”.

More than 1,500 brands are judged by American consumers across 190 categories. Finalists and Winners will be announced throughout the year in important categories such as Food and Beverage, Beauty, Household Care, Health and Personal Care, Home and Garden & Kids and Pets. Nominees include selections from Crest, Purina, Ball Park, KitchenAid, Oreo, Starbucks, and L’Oréal, as well as many leading smaller brands. The Best Brand Awards are 100% consumer-voted, and all brands have an equal opportunity to win The Choice of American Consumers®.

“We are very pleased to welcome Chobani into our family of National Best Brand Winners. Mr. Ulukaya and his team are clearly committed to making a healthy difference for consumers in many delicious ways. Congratulations to this innovative brand and their fine management and team”, said Jen Johansen, American Choice Awards Senior Vice President of Polling and Research.
